FYI -


A new  virus has just been discovered that has been classified by
Microsoft
www.microsoft.com <http://www.microsoft.com> )
and by  McAfee ( www.mcafee.com <http://www.mcafee.com> ) as the  most
destructive ever! This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by  McAfee
and no vaccine has yet been developed. This virus simply
destroys  Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital  information for  its
functioning are stored.
This virus acts in the following manner: It  sends itself automatically to
all contacts on your list with the title "A  Virtual Card for You".  As
soon
as the supposed virtual card is  opened, the computer
freezes so that the user has to reboot. When the  ctrl+alt+del keys or
thereset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector  Zero, thus
permanently destroying the hard disk.  Yesterday in just a  few hours this
virus caused panic in New York,
according to news  broadcast by CNN  (www.cnn.com tp://www.cnn.com>).

This alert  was received by an employee of Microsoft itself.  So don't open
any  mails with subject "A Virtual Card for You".  As soon as
you get the  mail, delete it. Please pass on this mail to all your friends.
Forward this  to everyone in your address book. I would rather receive this
25 times than  not at all.

Also: Intel announced that a new and very destructive virus  was discovered
recently. If you receive an email called "An Internet Flower  For You", do
not open it. Delete it right away! This
virus removes all  dynamic link libraries(.dll files) from your computer.
Your computer will  not be able to boot up.

SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT  LIST!!
